                That story is so awesome. I love those times, but in a different location but same time frame. Beautifully done I could see the scenes you are such a great story teller and writer. Thanks for posting this.

                What a lovely post, especially for a city boy, wish I had grown up in your area of horses, cows, steers and wild flowers.

                I loved this.  Oh how I would have loved being along on that jaunt...but it's good enough just to read about it, and feel like I was there.

                Of course it was all horses in that time Pat , a few old buggies. A cousin of mine told me she had seen sheep driven up the main street. It seems so strange now. That was a lovely adventure, I would have loved to have been pen pals, but I don't know how long the letters would have taken,

                AH, that was nice, Pat_B. Brought back memories of Bird and me riding back into the fields to fetch the cows home. Wonderful days.
